Chapter Seven - Downhill
"Mira!" a man barged in through the guild doors.
"Yes," the Fairy Tail Master smiled.
"Something's trying to get through the gate!"
Mira's face became fierce. "Assemble everyone, prepare for evacuation."
With a nod he left. Mira breathed out a sigh remembering the war times; they were about to come back.
"Levy, dear," George stepped into his wife's study. She had the best collection of books in the city, and that was saying a lot; they were in Capricorn City which prided itself on being the most academic of the post-war cities. "You feeling any better."
"They came back," she looked at him with dazed eyes. "I used to love him so much George," she began to weep into his shoulder.
"Luce, what's going on?" Natsu asked.
"There is no time to train now," she walked briskly towards Heartfilia City.
"What do you mean?" Laxus turned her around, but turned her back around after noticing the completely and utterly fearful look in her eyes. He wasn't stupid like Natsu; he knew what was happening.
"Mira! The gates have been breached. It's only a matter of time!"
"Then use the teleportation lacrimas!" Mira was getting angry.
"That's against the-"
"I said do it!" she roared.
"Yes, ma'am."
"George, what is going on?" panic had filled the streets.
"It's starting," he whispered.
"Again," she croaked. George nodded against her hair.
"Mira," Lucy raced up to the other guild master, "Status!" The had just arrived via teleportation.
The Slayers were staring at the panicking people screaming and running for their loved ones. they had even seen a man jump from a tower; he died as soon as he hit the ground.
"I want to murder all these fucking Dragons!" she shouted with such fury; Mira threw a blast of pure power at the gates. It didn't help, but rather caused the small light radiating from it to accelerate faster.
"Mira," Lucy warned.
"Please follow proper evacuation procedures …" a lacrima repeated through the street of Capricorn city.
Levy sat in the little nursery that was set up for three children. Silent tears rushed down her face as she packed bags for her last surviving infant. Her other children were already at Taurus Valley with George.
"Oh god Gajeel, you couldn't stay away from me ,could you."
"Dragons?" Natsu turned to Lucy. He had gotten disoriented because of the teleportation spell, but he had regained his senses.
"Yes, it seems that our guests are coming early," she deadpanned.
"The dragons are coming!" Natsu exclaimed happily.
"These fuckers," Mira waved an angry hand at the gate, "aren't coming for fun and games. Well it depends on whose perspective we're talking about. The dragons think killing us is fun; we think that their killing us isn't." Mira threw another wave of power.
"Mira," Lucy called her friend, "go to Virgo Mountain, now," she growled.
Mira glared at her, "Fine, but don't blame me for not being here when you need me."
Levy stared at the bland room she had be assigned for the time being. George stood beside her listening to the sounds of crying children and thundering of scared feet.
"This is it, isn't it?" Levy and Laxus asked at the same time though they don't know it.
"Yeah," George and Lucy answer.
A/N: Hey-o, Owls here, I hope you like this chapter. I think it is very different from what I normally do. That is one of the many things I like about writing this story: it's very different for me.
Please tell me what you think, and what you want to see more of. The Dragons are coming and everything is about to fall apart, so stay tuned.
